GOOD HEAVENS.....WHATEVER NEXT......WHAT'S RIGHT WITH THIS PICTURE???
WORLDS COLLIDE......
THE MEETING OF TWO CULTURES.....
BRASIL: LAND OF CONTRASTS.....
ACTUALLY MY DAUGHTER HANNAH HAS FLOWN OUT FROM england TO SEE HER CRIPPLED OLD FATHER AND RIP THE PISS OUT OF HIM MERCILESSLY DAY AND NIGHT FOR TWO WHOLE WEEKS.....HERE SHE IS SEEN IN CAHOOTS WITH HER BRASILIAN COUNTERPART, THE FAMED PERNAMBUCAN MIMIC, SONIA "PARROTFACE" CRISTINA.......

.....in reality Hannah flew out at one days notice and arrived early Sunday morning......warning....never fly Air France.....they are shit on all fronts and Paris airport is closed at the weekends......babyfood, rude snotty stewardesses and aircraft made out of fish scales......
..........so today we grabbed Fabino and a car and went driveabout......here I made Hannah sit at another table to get a good shot, as if I can't move about (broken leg?!) everyone else is gonna have to......here we're sat at the caff below the church at Saquarema......fish and bread and salad mmmmm.....that's the new breakwater protected entrance to the lagoons for the Atlantic in the background.....allowing the lagoons to fill and drain so they don't get smelly and horrible like they used to.....dredgers operate in the small bay here as well.....
.........I have here allowed Hannah to sit at the same table.....which is nice.......
.....Here again the Atlantic bursting through and Hannah looking pensive and distant.....and an enormous leaking sewerage pipe.......

Hello....here is a picture of a tree.....no actually this is where the council are running a boat from this side to that side because they have finally demolished a rotten bridge from one causeway to another, mid lagoon and are pretending they are going to build a new one
hahahah.....meantime the locals are stuck without a vehicle one side or the other.....luckily this is the famous "Third World" so nobody can afford a vehicle in the first place......

......and here is a pic of one of the.....awww come on ....you can see......
.....and now the first in a sporadic series of GUESTBLOGS.....this time featuring the very famous and very wonderful MY DAUGHTER HANNAH....over to you Hann....just try and keep it entertaining, yet poignant....light but with political undertones and a dry sense of humour.....no, not like that.....do whatever you want after all its yourspace....no ....no.....not that.....please god no what ahve i donnneneneneneeeeeeeeee

Well thank you Mr Rather bossy Daddy Nachman, and yes I will write whatever I like, I feel I have earned it, since getting here yesterday Father has deliberately broken a wheel on his wheelchair so I have to drag him around in a rather funny fashion whilst trying not to have hysterics and drop him ................bless he's always been trouble, so I was really left with no choice but to come to this godforsaken place and check on him!!!

No but really it's the most beautiful place I have ever seen, ocean is lovely and clean,warm and inviting, people are friendly, happy and smiley and Dad although somewhat debilitated is rather happy too funnily enough and no it's not terribly dangerous here, I went off on a wander after dark this evening and felt perfectly safe! (no not trying to earn extra holiday money thankyou very much!) and I am really rather wondering whether to bother coming home at all, it's rather nice here, none of the men speak English which rules out any of the usual dating problems you find in good old blighty!!!

Anyway must go just been out in the middle of writing this eating and drinking with Daddy poo, witnessed an eldery Brasilian man pole dancing to English R & B and as I realised I was finding it slightly sexy I left.........hmmm so off to bed........update soon............I know you can't wait...................tchou!

Here Fabino and I stand bonded on top of the world......actually on top of what I call Uli's mountain.....actually his 300,000m2 ecocondo project at Mombaca behind the lagoons.....haven't got a cedilla but it's pronounced Mombassa.....the views are utterly beyond description or portrayal by any medium I know.....you gotta be there.....

........Hannah and I at the same spot......behind at the centre is my tennis club plot.....and behind that is the Atlantic.......
......here Fabino alongside the lagoon....note the dugout canoes......thank you.......
.... here Hannah ....she likes it here.....so do I......anyone wanna buy a house with a view???
